V. Gandin research interests are in the Medicinal Chemistry field. Presently, her research work is principally focused on the development of target-specific antitumor agents. By means of suitable molecular, subcellular and cellular model systems, these researches ultimately aim at identifying structure-activity relationships (SARs) and novel lead anticancer agents with improved pharmacological properties in comparison with the reference chemotherapeutic drugs. A great interest is focused on the recognition of the chemical features and biological mechanisms accounting for the antitumor activity of new antitumor agents.
V. Gandin is co-author of 80 scientific publications in peer-reviewed international journals (h-factor: 24), two book chapters and of more than 100 communications at National and International Conferences (some of which upon invitation). She is co-inventor in two pharmaceutical patents.
She is a member of the Italian Chemical Society (Rome, Italy) and of the Interuniversity Society for Research on Metal Chemistry in Biological Systems (Bari, Italy).
